When magma has solidified in a volcanoes vent it is known as a volcanic plug. In some cases when there is a plug present in a stratovolcano, it can lead to very large explosive eruptions as pressure builds within the volcano.
Actually, the hardened magma left in a volcano's pipe after the surrounding softer rock has eroded away is known as a volcanic neck or plug, not a batholith. A batholith is a large mass of igneous rock that has crystallized from magma deep within the Earth's crust, typically covering an area of more than 100 square kilometers. In contrast, a volcanic neck represents the solidified remains of a volcano's conduit.

An old eroded mountain is often called a "mountain range" or a "plateau." Over time, weathering and erosion can wear down the peaks and create a flatter, more level surface.
The depositing or placing of eroded material is called sedimentation. This process occurs when eroded particles settle and accumulate in a new location, often leading to the formation of sedimentary rocks over time.
Rock conduit that remains when the surrounding cone has been eroded is the volcanic neck.

they can be eroded by wind and rain and hardened by heat.

The rocks are formed due to the erosional activity of air. The hard part remaining are the balancing rocks and the soft sediments around the rocks got eroded by the wind.
The eroded particles may be carried by water, wind or ice to other locations like the lowland regions or into the ocean and lakes.The eroded materials build up and under their own pressure gradually become hardened into sedimentary rock.
A loooooooong time ago it was classified as a Stratovolcano. When it erupted, the magma cooled and hardened in the volcano. Eventually, the outer part eroded away, causing the cooled magma to be exposed. After that, it was then classified as an extinct volcano, and to this day it is a popular tourist attraction.
Many times by prospectors on the surface, or around eroded pegmatite veins.
it is being eroded by the wind and sea
"will erode"
Yes. The Grand Canyon was eroded by the Colorado River.
The soil in this area was eroded after all the trees were cut.
eroded: The hill is not there anymore; it eroded away.
